have been expanded to allow for more detailed analysis and
exploration of examples of language in use. There is a focus
on understanding the shades of meaning behind different
grammatical choices, as well as on the register and aspects
of spoken and written grammar. Broader grammar areas,
such as word order or cause and effect allow students to
consolidate and refine their use of more basic structures
as well as increasing their range and accuracy. To build
fluency, students need to train and trust their own ‘ear’ and
the practice activities encourage them to use their instinct
before checking back at the rules and explanations.
